Preparing for Version 5010 and ICD-10: New Resources from CMS

On October 1, 2013, the ICD-9 code sets used to report medical diagnoses and inpatient procedures will be replaced by ICD-10 code sets. To accommodate the ICD-10 code structure, the transaction standards used for electronic health care claims, Version 4010/4010A, must be upgraded to Version 5010 by January 1, 2012. To help providers prepare for these changes, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has released several new resources, including Version 5010 and ICD-10 transition basics fact sheets, a Version 5010 readiness fact sheet, and a timeline widget.
